Since both of my grandparents have lived in the area for many decades, my family has visited South Jersey yearly since 2014. Its warm and lively feel is very appealing to many families that are looking for an easy and fun getaway. Every summer we pile into the car and drive four hours away to the Seaview Hotel and Club, a wonderful place which is located in Galloway, 20 minutes from the beach and boardwalk(木板人行道). The Seaview is enticing and quite inexpensive as well, which is perfect for any family. The rooms are neat, and the breakfasts are a real attraction, even to adults. I have always loved going down to their lovely outdoor swimming pool in the mornings and then ordering a lunch from the Coastal Grille, the hotel's main restaurant. The Seaview is really great，and somewhere else is even more exciting. At the end of every day in South Jersey, my family always makes it an important goal to drive to the local beach and boardwalk, Ocean City. Ocean City is wonderful with great swimming, lots of pizza places, ice cream stands, and excellent rides and games. After dinner, we always check out “Gillian's Pier”， the impressive and exciting, yet small amusement area located on the boardwalk. It is lots of fun to ride on the bumper car(碰碰车) and roller coaster and to taste soft­serve ice creams and cotton candy. Next door, there is even a video arcade(游戏厅), so overall South Jersey is your classic family summer vacation. I would definitely recommend visiting, even just for a weekend, someday. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述作者一家每年夏天去南泽西度过的美好且有趣的日子，来说明南泽西是一个很具吸引力的地方。 4．Why has the author visited South Jersey every year since 2014?
